Shastri Best Research Paper Award (SBRPA) 2022

The Shastri Best Paper Awards will be presented annually to Shastri fellows whose work has been published in a peer-reviewed journal with a high impact factor. Ideally, the paper should have appeared in a high-impact factor journal between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022. The first authors should submit applications. A significant highlight of the competition is the high quality of the work produced by the SICI awardees and their collaborators.  

There will be two categories for the Shastri Best Paper Awards i.e. Science (STEM and allied) and social science (HUSS and allied). Each category will be considered for one award.
